FSSAI for your business
FSSAI Licence for Restaurants
Every restaurant must hold and display a valid FSSAI licence. Most single-outlet restaurants under ₹1.5 crore turnover need only a Basic Registration, a State Licence applies from ₹1.5 crore to ₹50 crore, and large chains or multi-state operators need a Central Licence. CAREALL prepares and files your restaurant’s FSSAI for you and keeps your annual fee paid so the licence never lapses.
